- Add your secure keys to Railz.

Complete the App Assessment Questionnaire
Before you can access your application's production keys, you must complete an app assessment questionnaire. Intuit will review your answers to make sure your app meets their publishing requirements and guidelines.

To access the questionnaire:
- Click Go to the app assessment questionnaire at the bottom of the page.
- Enter your answers then submit the questionnaire to Intuit.
- In most cases, Intuit's assessment process is fast. After successfully submitting the questionnaire and providing all other required information, production keys will be unblocked. If not, you’ll be prompted with a request for additional information and the next steps by Intuit. If you are unable to meet Intuit requirements, access to production keys will be blocked.
